We’re honored to share that Southeastern Psychiatric Associates TMS Center was recently featured on WCBV Channel 5, spotlighting the incredible results we’re seeing with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. The segment showcases not only the science behind TMS, but also the deeply personal stories of patients who have found relief after years of struggling with depression.

Learn the differences between TMS and antidepressants, including how they work, potential side effects, treatment options, and TMS protocols available at SEPA TMS.

We’re excited to welcome Emma Spade, TMS Coordinator, to the SEPA TMS team!
